Some of you have probably watched the videos from here a dozen times. Some of you probably managed to print out your pre-order confirmation text and framed it. Is that too much? Should I take it out of the frame at least? Regardless, for those us who weren’t lucky enough to be there on “launch” day, one of our astute forum posters searched T-mobile.com and came up with some nice pictures that are if nothing else pretty good indicators of what to expect color wise. They don’t contain anything we haven’t already seen, I got a better idea of what the white looked like without watching someone else groping the phone. Just good clear shots. Enjoy!

Do you think that you can type on it with out sliding out the screen? I haven’t seen anyone do it in any of the videos. I love the phone and I am for sure getting it anyways. But it just seems weird if you couldn’t and after having the sidekick I would really rather not have to.

Just wish you could reserve the white g1! I wouldnt have to wait until the day of. And it probably wont be at every tmobile store! But if I cant get that ill probably get the brown g1…

i wonder why the white and brown ones have the different colored keyboard while the black one doesn’t . it would look sick if the black one had the silver keyboard!!!

Chris, I was thinking the same exact thing. As a matter of fact, I thought that was the black one until I looked at it good. I was thinking to myself “the keyboard was never like that”. Wish it was though.

@mp
i dont mean to be a butt about it but, that was bad grammar lol. i shouldnt laugh. i can help u if u want.

if the keyboard was silver it would be off cuz its too far away from black and the black would overshadow it. trust me it wouldnt be aesthetically pleasing at all

Soo… I’m stuck between the black or the white one. The brown looks cool but I have to see it in person. I heard some G1 will be handed out to some managers on October 8th. I’m jelous! ( don’t know if I spelled that word correctly. But yea… Can’t wait to sell my iPhone 3G!

@Megan #9

You probably could, and if not out of the box, someone will create the app for it. One thing that you should know, however, is that the G1 is not multi-touch like the iPhone. That means the typing will be a bit slower than doing it on the iPhone because you have to actually lift your thumb before putting down the other thumb for it to recognize. From my understanding, Android will NEVER have multi-touch because apple has a patent on it. So unless apple wants to sell rights to use multi-touch (and knowing apple, they wont) you wont be seeing multi-touch on any phone other than the iPhone any time soon. I didn’t realize that until I read up on it, so making games that use traditional D-pad and button controls wont work on Android. It’s a bummer, but the G1 has a trackball, which is awesome still.

@T1/SheShe – I miss the countdown timer too. :( Please put it back. I’m not trippin on if the dates are incorrect/correct, but it’s nice to see it. I’m riding with yall (TmoNews) regardless!!

@Lanslyde – LMAO, I was thinking the same thing…like daaaaaaaaayum…where r u from cause the typos were off the chain!! But…I still got the message! It’s all good! Yea, I’m glad it’s black on black too. That’s what turned me off from the brown, the keyboard is a diff color and I’m not feeling that. The white is cool though with the diff color keyboard.

@drivethruboy168 – I pre-ordered the black, cause its my favorite color…but, the white one looks sweet as hell to me and I don’t even like white like that. So…unfortunately, I can’t help u decide other than to say that the white one will show sratches more than the black. My homegirl has a white pearl and it looks thrashed!!! White picks up scratche more than black … of course.

If my G1 is not in my hands on the 22nd I might have a severe heart attack. Like no joke. The days are going by so slow!

Will I be happy with this phone’s size if I am a front pocket carry guy and not a belt clip guy? This phone looks chunky from the side.

Im with everyone else. I think you guys should put the timer back. It makes me feel a little bit better seeing that time is actually moving since it feels like time is at a stand still.

David

We will work on getting the timer up this week…I tried putting it back in this morning but something didn’t work right so I’ll play with it in a little bit.
